Sounds like you have an APM bios implementation that is not fully
compatible with the kernel APM stuff. Recompile the kernel with APM
support disabled and reopen if this still occurs. At the point where
you are getting the trouble the kernel may be trying to send the APM
bios a signal to reboot or shutdown and it is getting confused.
